Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes/Review/Proposed decision

Proposed motions
Arbitrators may place proposed motions affecting the case in this section for voting. Typical motions might be to close or dismiss a case without a full decision (a reason should normally be given), or impose temporary sanctions (such as discretionary sanctions) or restrictions on an article or topic. Suggestions by the parties or other non-arbitrators for motions or other requests should be placed on the /Workshop page for consideration and discussion. Motions have the same majority for passage as the final decision.

Proposed temporary injunctions
A temporary injunction is a directive from the Arbitration Committee that parties to the case, or other editors notified of the injunction, do or refrain from doing something while the case is pending.

Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support") 24 hours from the first vote is normally the fastest an injunction will be imposed.

Decorum
3) Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously in their interactions with other users. Unseemly conduct, such as personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, harassment, disruptive point-making, and gaming the system, is prohibited. Making unsupported accusations of such misconduct by other editors, particularly where this is done in repeatedly or in a bad-faith attempt to gain an advantage in a content dispute, is also unacceptable.

Communication
4) Editors should use their best efforts to communicate with one another, particularly when disputes arise. When an editor's input is consistently unclear or difficult to follow, the merits of their position may not be fully understood by those reading the communication. An editor's failure to communicate their concerns with sufficient clarity, conciseness, attention to detail, or focus on the topic being discussed can impede both collaborative editing and dispute resolution. Editors should recognise when this is the case and take steps to address the problems, either on their own or, where necessary, by seeking assistance.

Consensus can change
5) Consensus is not immutable. It is reasonable, and sometimes necessary, for both individual editors and particularly the community as a whole to change its mind. Long-held consensus cannot be used as an excuse against a change that follows Wikipedia's policies.

Templates for Discussion
7) Templates for Discussion is a Wikipedia process for determining and executing the community's decisions to keep, delete, or merge a template. If an editor is dissatisfied with the decision made by the closing administrator in a TFD discussion, the close may be brought to deletion review. As consensus can change it is usually not disruptive to renominate a template at TFD after a reasonable period of time has passed.

Clarity of sanctions
8) When there is a dispute about the scope or interpretation of an Arbitration Committee remedy, clarification should be sought at the clarification and amendment page. The Committee strives to write sanctions that are as clear and unambiguous as possible, but it is nearly impossible to create remedies that cover all possible situations in perpetuity. The Committee expects administrators considering enforcing remedies to use common sense in such situations; however, when the wording of a sanction is ambiguous and good-faith editors cannot agree on the correct or common-sense interpretation, the Committee should replace the wording of the remedy with clearer language.

 * Proposed. Not entirely sure how I feel about it yet. Courcelles (talk) 06:33, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Seems too bureaucratic for my taste. Particularly the two comments/72 hours...I don't know where that comes from, and I'm not sure it would help. If we could nuke that, I could see supporting this, unless we can make an argument otherwise. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  16:56, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * This was based on a restriction passed on another editor in Infoboxes, that has attracted far less controversy over interpretation than the one placed on POTW. THe original remedy allowed an absolute 2 comments, not the 2 per three days. Courcelles (talk) 21:34, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Pigsonthewing restricted (III)
1.3) Remedy 1.1 of the original Infoboxes case is rescinded. In its place, the following is adopted: Pigsonthewing is indefinitely banned from making any edits to or about infoboxes across all namespaces.

 * In many ways I like this solution as well, although for the sake of rough consistency I somewhat doubt I'll support it. A full disengage might be the best solution here, although given the original decision, and the behavior post decision, the other proposed solutions address the problem in a very different (but I hope effective) way.

Pigsonthewing; discussion
2.1) Remedy 1 of the 2005 Pigsonthewing case is rescinded. The following is enacted as a restriction of this review: If Pigsonthewing behaves disruptively in any discussion; any uninvolved administrator may ban Pigsonthewing from further participation in that discussion. Any such restriction must be logged on the main case page of this review.

 * Yes, but it also means it should be placed (and any enforcement logged) here, rather than back as an amendment to the 2005 case. Courcelles (talk) 13:07, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Easiest is to rescind it altogether without x-reffing new remedies. (The clerks could add a note to the 2005 case linking to the subsequent one, and this review). It's worrying that we're still working on a ten-year-old problem   Roger Davies  talk 07:31, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Pigsonthewing; article creation
3) Notwithstanding remedy 1.1 of this review, Pigsonthewing may include an infobox in articles he has himself created within the prior fortnight.


 * Support:
 * This has never been a real point of contention, I consider the potential disruption of this exception to whatever of the remedies 1.x ultimately pass pretty much nil. Courcelles (talk) 06:36, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comments:
 * the fortnight language is extremely easy to enforce; while I'd never advocate blocking if the infobox was added at 14 days and a few hours after creation or such, there is no need here for POTW to decide if other edits were "substantual" before making his own edit. Courcelles (talk) 21:45, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That's entirely reasonable and I don't really have a problem with it; I'm just conscious that I - personally - find myself going back and editing articles I've created quite some time after their creation, a process which does occasionally involve the addition of infoboxes. However, if this passes and POTW is aware of it, then he'll know there's a definite "window" in which he can add an infobox, so I don't see it becoming an issue. Yunshui <sup style="font-size:90%">雲 <sub style="font-size:90%">水 21:50, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Minor ce since 1.1 is what is going to pass, language is therefore simpler

Discretionary sanctions
4) Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits that (i) add or remove an infobox, or (ii) are discussing infoboxes, including at templates for discussion.

 * From a review of the evidence, I find this appropriate. It seems that TFD/Infoboxes is becoming a WP:BATTLEGROUND, and would benefit from having outside administrative involvement to help resolve the issues. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  16:59, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If the authorising motion had not been limited, I think there would have been broader need for remedies, so this is appropriate. Courcelles (talk) 21:09, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I thought a while about this, but I think it's overly broad. A lot of editors non-disruptively use infoboxes as a routine part of editing, and I'd rather not have notices slung at them because a few people can't behave when it comes to the things.

Implementation notes
''Clerks and Arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.''

Vote
Important: Please ask the case clerk to author the implementation notes before initiating a motion to close, so that the final decision is clear.

''Four net "support" votes needed to close case (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support"). 24 hours from the first motion is normally the fastest a case will close. The Clerks will close the case either immediately, or 24 hours after the fourth net support vote has been cast, depending on whether the arbitrators have voted unanimously on the entirety of the case's proposed decision or not.''
